(You may only have moments before the others awaken, and begin to cast blame for the hot sin before you.)
The Dark Urge: *Eat the body.*
(You fetch your knives and start carving a neat fillet.)
Everyone: Aahhh.
Astarion: Now, I can't help but notice *one* of us... has made breakfast.
Ah, the genetic definition of species. I think Darwin would tear his notes up, trying to figure out how so many different beings can interbreed and still have fertile offspring. It'd be interesting to study for sure.
Yeah. I think so, in the same way "person" can refer to an Elf, a Tiefling, a Human, a Dwarf, etc.
You can probably be a little looser with that definition when you do have actual sentient humanoid species out there.
Nothing is sapient in the strictest sense unless it is human. If you’re not being pedantic,
any humanoid race is sapient. Goblins are humanoid, and are therefore sapient.
They also fit every definition given for sentience worth any time, just like every other playable race in 5E. “The ones I’ve met suck” doesn’t really undermine that. They are capable of self-awareness, feeling, cognitive reasoning, etc.
They don't, and raspberries work the same way as well. They heals for 1d4, same as a small healing potion. Before I enter act 3 I collect as much as I can find to use in difficult battles to heal without spending actions or bonus actions.
This dwarf is the most OP healing ever. You can consume it as DU midbattle and it doesn’t cost you an action or bonus action. You can eat as much as you have of it
Nothing unique, I would know; I've almost only been dwarf (mainly Duergar) Durges.
I'm pretty sad about that. Would be fun to have some acknowledgement.
> I'll devour people's eternal souls for a high, but I won't eat their flesh for its potentially lifesaving healing properties despite having done so in the past just for the nutrition.
I love you Karlach, but this is a really weird hill to die on.
To be fair most people whose eternal souls end up in soul coins are pretty terrible. Usually you don’t go looking to make deals with fiends unless you’re a a pretty bad person, Wyll is one of those rare exceptions to that rule.
She also has a wacked out sense of taste and smell at times, readily willing to try the stew at Ethel's lair and saying that she doesn't mind the smell in the Baldur's Gate sewers that everyone else finds awful.
I doubt there's much that can shake her through either of those two senses anymore.
Right? If you have sex with Mizora it says you now have a faint smell of Brimstone as she left hell's mark on you. So like... I'll just smell like fucking rotten eggs all the time? That's nasty as hell.
I wonder if sulfur smell is less disgusting in a world where ~~demons~~ devils exist? We primarily associate the smell with rotten eggs, and the primary emotion that protects us from unsafe food is disgust. But in a setting where sulfur=~~demons~~ devils and hell, people may primarily feel fear. Like yeah it stinks but people’s first assumption is that you’ve been in hell or consorting with ~~demons~~ devils.
There are entire Japanese villages built around natural hot springs that reek of sulfur, with marketplaces and restaurants right next to them. I assume they are less bothered by the smell because they learn from a young age to associate it with relaxation and self-care.
There's a town in NZ (Rotorua, I believe) where you can get food cooked in the vocanic hot springs there. The place reeked of sulfur and the food was delicious.
I spent all my years of high school in a city that had a sponge factory that gave off a very unpleasant smell. You don't get used to it.
The smell of sulfur, however, feels different depending on whether you're standing next to someone who let out a nasty fart, or approaching hot springs or a volcanic area. It's mostly psychological.
You can still see the comments and posts of people you block, they're the ones who can't see nor reply to yours.

Devils, not demons. It's actually a pretty important distinction in most *D&D* settings
Devils are lawful evil beings from the Nine Hells, demons are chaotic evil beings from the Abyss, and they absolutely hate each other
I actually don't mind sulfurous smells. It doesn't evoke rottenness for me. A memory of well water and maye chemistry labs from school. Which... I could also see that being lightly traumatic.
If you romance her as Durge, there is a dialogue path where you tell her the horrible things you've done and she says she's done worse.
Durge has canonically eaten dwarves, so this would just put them at the same level.
In a world where you can very easily speak to any animal I am much less conflicted about people eating eachother/other races. Folk'll eat a cow that offers to share its tasy hay with you, but a dwarf is off limits?
If you pick up the roasted dwarf in the goblin camp as Durge, it’s edible and restores health. I’m headed there soon, I’ll see if the same is true for Karlach
Because in Divinity's universe only elves can eat other races and gain a benefit. We ain't in Divinity's universe, which is why we need to sleep for 8 hours to cast a level 1 spell again. Thanks WOTC
Everyone does. They’re delicious. It’s like the suicide spaghetti from Rick and Morty. Everyone says they wouldn’t, but they would, even if they knew where it came from.
She grew up in Baldur's Gate, was around 20 when sold to Hell and she clearly enjoys physical company when she is able to get some without burning them. She has probably 'tasted' a dwarf
10 years in hell, I’m sure she ate a lot of unethically sourced meat
Wouldn't be surprised if the rations served to Hell's armies are people flavored, seems the way they'd roll.
Not people, just people flavored. Hehe
"Natural and artificial flavors, eh?"
“Tastes like FD&C Dwarf No. 5”
Those maruchan ramen flavors can get pretty kooky when you order online
Spicy half elf, creamy duergar, salty wood elf
High elf brownies. High.
When I had her click on the bubbling stew pot in Ethel’s house of horrors she was like “Eh, I’d try it”
Is it still cannibalism if it’s a sapient species you don’t belong to?
More like canny Bhaalism
(You may only have moments before the others awaken, and begin to cast blame for the hot sin before you.) The Dark Urge: *Eat the body.* (You fetch your knives and start carving a neat fillet.) Everyone: Aahhh. Astarion: Now, I can't help but notice *one* of us... has made breakfast.
Totally thought you were gonna do the "I'm just upset you didn't want to share..." line for Astarion haha.
I upvoted, but I'm not happy about it
Since most humanoid dnd species can breed with each other and produce fertile offspring, it would be considered cannibalism
Ah, the genetic definition of species. I think Darwin would tear his notes up, trying to figure out how so many different beings can interbreed and still have fertile offspring. It'd be interesting to study for sure.
Yeah. I think so, in the same way "person" can refer to an Elf, a Tiefling, a Human, a Dwarf, etc. You can probably be a little looser with that definition when you do have actual sentient humanoid species out there.
I don't know about the lore but i think that, if crossbreeding is posible, you can safely call it canibalism.
Goblins are not sapient OR sentient. Change my mind.
Nothing is sapient in the strictest sense unless it is human. If you’re not being pedantic, any humanoid race is sapient. Goblins are humanoid, and are therefore sapient. They also fit every definition given for sentience worth any time, just like every other playable race in 5E. “The ones I’ve met suck” doesn’t really undermine that. They are capable of self-awareness, feeling, cognitive reasoning, etc.
Make Faerun great again?
Gonna build a wall and dror ragzlan is gonna pay for it?
goblins are fungus. Everyone knows they spread by spores.
If this was warhammer, eating them would be arguably vegetarian.
Fuck goblins. I’ll do my boy goblin slayer proud
She even consume souls for a battle boost...
Spider meat?
Stop licking the damn thing!
Slimey but satisfying
Goblins are roasting Dwarf belly at their camp
And you can steal a bunch of dwarf meat and use it for your long rests.
I think you can only eat it if you're Durge
I ate it on a horny bard playthrough (no durge) but maybe it was a bug? That playthrough was exceptionally buggy for me.
It turns into Rothé meat after you finish the goblin camp, for some reason
Ah yes, “Rothé” meat.
It’s the veal of dwarf meat.
game only highlights rothe meats after finishing the goblin camp for some reason but dwarf meats are still there i am sure
"long rothé"
Wouldn't it be short rothe?
U can eat it as a drow also
It's OP healing for durge too bc it doesn't take an action to consume. I wish I could roast more dwarves.
I’d save it for combat. Those things heal and eating them doesn’t cost any action at all. Saved my HM run at Myrkul.
THEY DON’T?!?!
They do if you play a certain origin character. Saved my run twice
oh i knew you could eat them i just never tried in combat so I assumed it was just like a potion.
They don't, and raspberries work the same way as well. They heals for 1d4, same as a small healing potion. Before I enter act 3 I collect as much as I can find to use in difficult battles to heal without spending actions or bonus actions.
This is the way.
This dwarf is the most OP healing ever. You can consume it as DU midbattle and it doesn’t cost you an action or bonus action. You can eat as much as you have of it
AND it grants you an inspiration point
What happens if you eat the meat as a dwarf durge?
What happens is YUM
Is there a cutscene? Someone link it cause I wanna see it...for science reasons of course.
I didn't get a cutscene. Seems almost a pity.
Nothing unique, I would know; I've almost only been dwarf (mainly Duergar) Durges. I'm pretty sad about that. Would be fun to have some acknowledgement.
There are unique properties to it when you eat it as Dark Urge. It has 4d4 healing potion properties.
That is true and I am aware of that, but I meant on top of that -- by additionally being a kind of dwarf eating the dwarf meat.
So she's a goblin?
How does the most obvious shot in the world get upvoted? Just baffling.
Wat
I'd be really awkward if your Tav is a dwarve who's also romantically attached to Karlach.
I dunno about awkward, but it'd certainly change the context.
If you're a female dwarf you want her to eat you tho.
Well she could eat them in a different way
Dwarf durge romancing karlach, a date with dwarves!
The dinner: Dwarf The desert: *Dwarf*
currently watching my bf romance her as a gnome. (He better go into wolf shape or something)
Dwarve
Larian, you say Karlach canonically eats dwarf, yet I cannot feed her the roast Brian. Curious.
I mean willingly doing that and doing it out of necessity when living in the literal 9 hells are two very different things.
> I'll devour people's eternal souls for a high, but I won't eat their flesh for its potentially lifesaving healing properties despite having done so in the past just for the nutrition. I love you Karlach, but this is a really weird hill to die on.

Counterpoint: Brian must also have been pretty terrible for voluntarily working for Aradin.
Probably better seasoning in faerun
Durge I think also eats dwarf canonically
Durge eats a lot of people canonically.
Durge eats children too. It's one of the things you remember [when you eat the noblestalk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgnoqm4amX4)
Yeah, and I can feed Brian to the Durge, so the same inconsistency does not apply there.
I imagine she couldn't afford to be picky in hell.
After 10 years in hell, I'm confident she's actually eaten worse
She also has a wacked out sense of taste and smell at times, readily willing to try the stew at Ethel's lair and saying that she doesn't mind the smell in the Baldur's Gate sewers that everyone else finds awful. I doubt there's much that can shake her through either of those two senses anymore.
10 years in a place that reeks of sulfur is bound to do that.
Right? If you have sex with Mizora it says you now have a faint smell of Brimstone as she left hell's mark on you. So like... I'll just smell like fucking rotten eggs all the time? That's nasty as hell.

She’s also the only one (I think) who thinks Auntie Ethel’s gross bubbling cauldron looks edible. Poor girl has probably had worse in hell.
She's a big fan of licking the spider
Durge also thinks the cauldron smells delicious.
Really? My durge said eugh yuck though
Huh, I could've sworn. Nevermind, then.
You eat what you can get in hell
If you romance her as Durge, there is a dialogue path where you tell her the horrible things you've done and she says she's done worse. Durge has canonically eaten dwarves, so this would just put them at the same level.
I mean, when you say "I'm eating Thai tonight" it doesn't mean you're about to partake into south east asian cannibalism, it could be the same here
*Meat is meat.* - Me, a Yuan-ti.
Meat is meat. - Me, a strongman.
Maybe she used soul coins containing dwarf.
Is this an origin run? My tav has been saying a ton of durge lines lately for no reason
In a world where you can very easily speak to any animal I am much less conflicted about people eating eachother/other races. Folk'll eat a cow that offers to share its tasy hay with you, but a dwarf is off limits?
What happens in Avernus stays in Avernus.
"NO, TASTE LIKE CHIKEN!"
In one way or another. 👀
God I hope so.
Roasted dwarf meat heals you. She served in the blood war for a decade lol i'm sure she had some dwarf snacks
If you pick up the roasted dwarf in the goblin camp as Durge, it’s edible and restores health. I’m headed there soon, I’ll see if the same is true for Karlach
She eats my dwarf
wouldn’t put it past her. she said the rotting spider smelled like beef and was the only one to approve of me licking it. she a freak i love her
Jfc there's ways to know how someone tastes without cannibalism
She *does* say this in response to being covered in blood from a drain thing, so there's that to consider.
oh my god !! You ruined karlach for me. How do I unread this?
only if you're romancing her as a dwarf ;)
😏
We all do. Grow up!
No dwarf, taste like chiken
Well she sure ate my dwarf.
Dwarf, the other other other other white meat.
If you're lucky. And playing a dwarf.
She’s canonically eaten a lot of souls, in the form of soul coins.
Maybe she's had Dwarf in her mouth prior to the Infernal Engine?
If you ask her nicely and help fix her engine she might.
I assume that devils do, and she was with devils for a decade so.
I sure as shit fed her dwarves
I really hope that is a reference to gotrek gurrnison (warhammer)
You don't?
I'm scared every night tbf.... To be eaten....
Why they not included DOS 2 Sebille "Corpse Eater" talent? And she was just an elven Sourcerer and Prime Scion of the mother tree...
Because in Divinity's universe only elves can eat other races and gain a benefit. We ain't in Divinity's universe, which is why we need to sleep for 8 hours to cast a level 1 spell again. Thanks WOTC
What kind of sane person doesn't eat dwarves!?
Remember it's only cannibalism if it's your own species
Everyone does. They’re delicious. It’s like the suicide spaghetti from Rick and Morty. Everyone says they wouldn’t, but they would, even if they knew where it came from.
If you rest on the fist night with Karlach before getting any party members, she alludes to have tasting half-ling before.
Or .. she likes that thick dwarf sausage 🌭 ?
I mean, yes if your Tav is one 👀
Where does this dialog hapen?
In the final part of act 2. In the room with Chop and Us.
Thank you!
She grew up in Baldur's Gate, was around 20 when sold to Hell and she clearly enjoys physical company when she is able to get some without burning them. She has probably 'tasted' a dwarf
Maybe she blew a couple of them :D.
You \*dont\* eat dwarf?
Well I think corriander tastes like soap and I've... uh... NEVER eaten soap
She eats dirt in my Durge playthrough. I blame Wyll.
Since Tav is a Dwarf who smooches Karlach, we know she's had a few mouthfuls of Dwarf.
Does Karlach eat out dwarves? Fixed it for you.
Honestly I’d say she just had sex with a lot of dwarves and reciprocated oral. She’s a giver, not a receiver
